The programme will touch on topics such as family issues, politics and land rights, with a common thread being ordinary people doing extraordinary things to change their world, no matter who they are or their background. It is the connection to their culture that gives them great strength to fight their battles and find the hero within.

Young and Hungry is looking for four up-and-coming professional actors for the 2018 EnsembleImpact National Schools Tour, A COUNTRY OF TWO HALVES.

Directed by Patrick Davies, A COUNTRY OF TWO HALVES features features scenes exploring the wide range of conflicting and opposing opinions, ethnicities, politics, social levels and ages of the wonderful characters who populate NZ playwrights’ plays. A COUNTRY OF TWO HALVES can open discussion about the misunderstandings that keep us divided and what brings us together.

We are looking for four actors with just as wide a range of diversities to bring this to life. You will be open, talented (whether from training or experience), able to hold a tune (if not sing brilliantly), able to bring your own style of physical exuberance to the production. Be strong in your own opinion but also able to create a safe and supportive team spirit.
